Cons

Make a loud statement without even opening your mouth with a designer Issey Miyake timepiece on your arm. The world famous Japanese fashion designer has given his blessing to these innovative and beautifully designed watches that will help you stand out from the crowd and get noticed right away. The incredible design of the To line is sure to turn a head or two; while the Twelve series is both simple; beautiful and functional. Anyone can buy a watch; but it takes a special kind of person to wear art on their wrist. You can be that person with an Issey Miyake designed timepiece.

The modernist "Twelve" line from Issey Miyake was designed by Naoto Fukasawa; known for his innovative groundbreaking creations and approach to design. "I tried to design a watch which is simple and as strong as possible. I wanted to eliminate all marking; even numbers; from the face. This inspired me to give the crystal itself twelve sides. With the twelve angles of the case serving as the hour markers; I only had to add the hour and minute hands; both having the same width equal to the diameter of the central post. The result is a sharp face distinguished by the unique angular shape and wide hands. I feel that this strong; clean and simple design is suitable for the brand of Issey Miyake
